In today's film, the dialogue is so electric. It's like watching a great tennis match. And because

it's a sports film, there's actually tennis too, and the tennis is so well choreographed and

exciting that it's like watching a great debate. Huh, I'm not sure I connected those two so well,

but you know what? It doesn't matter because this is one of the best scripts of the year,

and we're going to talk about it. Howdy? I'm Jeff Goldsmith and this is the Q&A. My agenda is simple. Each

week I plan to bring you in-depth insights into the creative process of storytelling. And folks,

I was very pleased to have with me today, the screenwriter of Challenger's, Justin Cariticus.

And he was very forthcoming about his creative process. And if you think about it, Challenger's Justin Cariticus, and he was very forthcoming about his creative process. And if you

think about it, Challenger's a very tight script. It's like a finely tuned watch. And every section

informs and adds to the other sections. So you really need it to work on the page. And it is

just wild to think that this is Justin's feature debut screenplay that has been

produced. I really can't say enough good things about it. I mean, Challenges is a film that I

found grows on you even more the second time you see it and I loved it the first time I saw it.

So if you haven't yet seen Challenger's, get a tennis grip on yourself, go see it. It's on

Prime Video and then you'll not

only be able to join us for the non-spoiler section, but you'll completely understand what we're

talking about in the spoiler section as well. But look, Justin was very generous with his time,

and there's a lot of great info in here, so I know you'll dig this episode. And speaking of

of things to dig, I hope you'll check out Backstory Magazine.
